The faces on your Celts are very realistic, great work on the eyes! The arrayed formation of Roman shields are very eye-catching, this is shaping up nicely!

They look very nice indeed.

Well done for getting the eyes right.

They enhance the tribesmen in my opinion.

It is difficult skill and a mistake makes the rest of one’s efforts look like a cartoon caricature.

Keep up the good work.

Best wishes,

Chris

Thanks you guys for the positive comments. it's a push for doing always better :-D

the work is going on !!

the semi-testudo is completed

Image

Image

and here is a jumping briton ..... why ? ....

Image

Image

probably quite fueled by alcohol or mushrooms, he decides to win the battle alone jumping from the walls onto the shields wall

Image

Image

Image

in the meantime, other britons are ready for another surprise for the advancing column...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

another fighting briton

Image

Image

with his direct enemy

Image

Image

and their draft position in the diorama

Image

Image

other figures are coming, stay tuned ;-)

More fine images of Romans and Britons. The Briton 'hero' jumping on top of the testudo is a very nice and imaginative touch....hopefully he will survive?!

Keep up the good work.... :yeah: :-D

I love the detail of the Briton jumping on the testudo, very typical of those bold Cetls. :-)

And I don't think the Romans are going to be too happy about the surprise the Britons have prepared for them from the tower above the entrance gate. :mrgreen:

Another geat advance in your project, Enrico. Go on with it! :thumbup:

Nice progress on the diorama.
That Briton on the testudo: that's how crowd surfing was invented.
thanks for sharing and keep up that good work.

Thanks guys for the feedback :-D
The testudo and the "crowd surfer" will be at the center of the diorama, the eye-catcher ! I will try now to create good surrounding zones on the walls and around to balance the whole ;-)

Here are new romans (Zvezda and Caesar)

These insted are from Linear

And these are new wild Britons,

Very nice indeed.

I have recently watched ‘Risen’ which features a testudo attack similar to this.

Keep up the good work.
